Gymnastics has its roots in ancient Greece, where it was practiced as part of training for soldiers and athletes. The modern form of gymnastics began to take shape in the 19th century, with the establishment of formal training systems and competitions, particularly in Germany and Sweden. The first modern gymnastics competition was held in 1881, and it became an Olympic sport in 1896 for men and in 1928 for women.
